Default can I take him?

some kid wants to race me in the WRX STI w/ and "exhaust" don't know whut he means by that I havn't seen the car yet. prolly just a coffee can. anyway I wanna know if you guys think I can beat him. my cars a 5spd all my mods are listed except the K&N air filter but U can't leave that one out. Car-stats.com says the STI does 13.2 1/4mi but that's pro drive right? I'm thinking it's gonna be a close race. only thing I'm worried about is his AWD and I'm running 4.10s on a 5spd w/ street tires, it can be a little tricky to hook up. should I add my Nitrous bottle 1st to give me an edge?

Im not sure about what your 4.10s do for you because I still have stock gearing.

If he has soft compound tires he'll take you. They are quick.

Take a step back here, AWD 300 horsepower Subie vs. a (maybe) 240 HP RWD stang with gears and no slicks. If the kid in the Subie knows how to launch it and drive it, he's gonna eat you.
